will it handle gelato?

Even though i have not made gelato with my machine, it is my understanding that gelato uses a slow churn process to incorporate very little air into the mixture. This machine churns very slowly. The volume in my ice cream mixes only increases about 10% or less. So it should work very well for gelato.

We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle. We returned this machine and purchased a Cuisinart with the motor turning from below the bowl. The new machine has a separate paddle for gelato. Haven't tried the gelato paddle, but have had great success with ice cream. We get a nice volume increase and smooth consistency. My research after the first purchase was that others had problems with the "motor on top" type of design. Cuisinart had the same design and changed it. We are using the Cuisinart a lot and so far it is holding up well. We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle.

Even though we do not use this product for the use it was intended looking at the colander itself I believe that it could handle small food of the nature. Hope that helped in some small way.

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

I doubt it very much. You would need something with a motor, most likely (blender. food processor)

Sure, it's great for rolling out any kind of dough. The width of the roller is only 5 1/2" so you're going to be making small pizzas.....

No, it's big enough. remember that the pizza dough is hard enough not to bend.

Yes, absolutely. Just be sure to add approximately 1/2 teaspoon of high quality gelatin to help thicken. Google web for exact recipes

I suppose so. It is a very fine weave on the mesh basket, so I would think it would handle delicate stuff like cottage cheese nicely.

Sorry, couldn't figure out how to expound on my 'yes' answer. I have used it to make tortillas and flatbreads, so if you are going for a thin crust pizza it should work...not sure how thick you could make it though. Hope that helps!

Yes. I used it for carrot, potato, mushrooms. Carrot will be a little difficult because it is more stiff so need more forces.

Yes, it would work fine for pasta, especially for bigger sizes of pasta, like penne. Although it's possible that small pasta, like orzo or small shells, might fall through the holes a bit.

Depends on how fine you grind it. I think espresso will defintily go through it.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

most food proccessors will. this machine is very poor design. i would go for a cheaper model

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

Yes it will be able to handle everything you asked about. very well made and sturdy.

Annie, depends. I use my machine for rolling out gum paste for making flowers that I use in cake decorating, I do secure it, but not sure if it would be absolutely necessary. Have never made pasta with it. If it is convenient to secure it in your case, I would do it just to be sure.
